Chapter 127 Explanation

  Lei Zhe, Xian Ni Er and Mo Xin Ke were standing in the central square with great enthusiasm, loudly discussing something. This was a true victory, its significance far exceeding the hunting of a few magical beasts and the harvest of a few magic crystals. Except for Xian Ni Er who could still remain calm, everyone else had some joy on their faces, especially Mo Xin Ke, whose loud speech and laughter made him seem even more unrestrained.

  Han Jin and the prisoner walked to the central square, one in front of the other. The prisoner had simply washed up and changed into a new set of clothes, looking much more spirited, except that his hair and beard were still slightly disheveled. Han Jin didn't have time to accompany him to get a haircut, besides, it was impossible to find a barber at this hour.

  "Ha! Raphael, where have you run off to?" Mosuke shouted loudly.

  After hearing Mo Xinkai's words, Lei Zhe also turned his head to look back, and then seemed to have seen something unbelievable, his body suddenly shook violently, his eyes wide open, staring at the prisoner without blinking, his lips trembling constantly, and after a long time, he tentatively called out: "Mr...?"

  "You've grown up." The prisoner said in a very gentle tone: "I almost didn't recognize you."

  In an instant, Leizhe's eyes became moist. He took a few quick steps forward, as if he wanted to rush over, but then forcibly restrained himself and knelt down on one knee: "Sir, I...I finally saw you!" Leizhe's hands had bulging veins, tightly grasping the mud, his arms and entire body trembling slightly.

  Lei Zhe has already found it difficult to get to this point, if he were a few years younger, if he didn't have the composure, at this moment he would definitely burst into loud wails.

  The crows and sparrows around fell silent, even the surrounding soldiers who were in high spirits were stunned. Leizhe was their commander-in-chief, after all. Who exactly was this person that could bear his kneeling?!

  "Be strong, there are so many people watching you." The prisoner said slowly, then bent down and held onto Lei Zhe's arms with his hands, helping him up. He gazed at Lei Zhe for a moment, then let out a long sigh: "Kid, I'm sorry, I already know about your father's situation, really sorry, it was me who wronged him."

  "No, sir..."

  "Listen to me." The prisoner interrupted Leiz's words lightly: "When I left you, I had a very bad premonition. Your father is a pure knight, he is too naive and too kind... If it weren't for me, your father would still be living in that small mountain village. I don't dare to guarantee how good his life would be, but at least he would be happy. It's my fault, I'm the one who pushed him into this treacherous world."

  "No, sir!" Lei Zhe finally lost control of himself, and tears rolled down his cheeks: "My father said before he passed away..."

  "Che Guevara?" a shrill cry rang out.

  The prisoner was taken aback, looking in the direction of the sound, and Xanier no longer had any doubts. She took two steps back, drew her longbow with her hand, and a black arrow was already pointing at the prisoner's brow.

  "Xian Ni Er, don't!" Lei Zhe stepped forward, blocking the prisoner.

  "Xian Ni Er, you're crazy!" Mo Xin Ke hastily went to grab Xian Ni Er's longbow.

  "Get out!" Xian Ni'er shouted sternly.

  Mo Xinkuo was taken aback, it had been a year since they met, he had never seen such a Xian Ni'er, those emerald-like eyes were bursting with crazy and extremely dangerous light, even through the mask, one could see the muscles on Xian Ni'er's cheeks twitching non-stop, he even felt that if he took another step forward, Xian Ni'er would not hesitate to attack him.

  Han Jin didn't know when he had circled around to Xian Ni'er's back, opened his arms and hugged her tightly, saying in a low voice: "Xian Ni'er, what are you doing? Let's talk things over!"

  Xian Ni suddenly transformed into a female leopard, using all her strength to struggle, using her hands to scratch, feet to kick, and teeth to bite. In just a few moves, she tore the clothes on Han Jin's arms to shreds, leaving behind bloody marks.

  Han Jin didn't dare let go, looking at Xian Ni Er's appearance, she must have launched an attack, and Lei Zhe was blocking in front, he absolutely didn't want to see a tragedy occur.

  Mo Xinkai let out a sigh of relief, drew his long sword and blocked Leizhe, then waved his hand back, signaling Leizhe and the others to leave quickly.

  Xian Ni'er still had some sanity left, otherwise she would have cut off Han Jin's hands with the bowstring long ago. But this remaining sanity made her even more painful, struggling for a moment, Xian Ni'er leaned softly into Han Jin's arms and said in a faint voice: "Do you know who he is?"

  Han Jin didn't say a word and just quietly listened, while others around him were also waiting for an answer.

  "He's the brother of Lord Casas, Dragon Knight Gwavar! Do you know how many elves died at his hands? He's a butcher with bloodstained hands!!" Xanier let out a nearly mournful sigh: "Raphael, let me go, or I'll hate you forever!"

  Although Xian Ni'er's voice was very low, the surroundings had already become extremely quiet, because everyone wanted to know the answer, and Xian Ni'er's voice clearly reached every person's ears.

  The answer is out, but the atmosphere is even more quiet than before. What does Dragon Knight mean? The true top-tier powerhouse of this continent. To become a Dragon Knight, one must first possess the strength to subdue a giant dragon. This is not something that can be faked. In comparison, the ferocious and unparalleled Blood Knight Gerald is not even worthy of mention. Even the two overlords of the northeastern region of the Tarras Mountains, Zagunid and Disemark, are only 11th-tier powerhouses!

  Han Jin was stunned, and Xian Ni'er took advantage of the opportunity to twist her body and struggle out of Han Jin's arms. However, Han Jin's divine fist technique was not in vain, he reacted extremely quickly, reached out to grab Xian Ni'er's shoulder, pulled her into a hug, and once again wrapped his arms around her. The only difference was that earlier he had hugged her from behind, but now they were facing each other.

  "Calm down, okay?!" Han Jin shouted. He was now feeling extremely tense, not because he was afraid of Xian Ni'er attacking the other party, but because he was worried that Xian Ni'er would get hurt. Through their conversation, he knew that the prisoner's personality was very unique and unpredictable, they had chatted a lot, but he couldn't make any judgments about him, this kind of person was the most terrifying!

  "Xie...!" Xian Ni Er was so anxious and angry that she almost fainted.

  "Listen to me for a moment, okay?" The prisoner patted Mozhenko on the shoulder, gesturing for him to step aside. Mozhenko hesitated for a moment, he and Hanjin were now worried that Xianiel would be harmed, but thinking again, if a Dragon Knight wanted to harm someone, a small Seventh-Order Warrior like himself wouldn't make any difference, so he obediently retreated to the side.

  "Are you an elf from Wilderun Castle?" The prisoner let out a light sigh: "I admit, I have indeed harmed some elves, but that was war, damn war! If you think that just because one has been hurt, there is enough reason to seek revenge, then my reasons are more than sufficient. When the Silver Winged Horse Legion took down my castle, they killed off my family clean, not even leaving me a single servant. Shouldn't I do something about it?"

  Xian Ni'er was stunned, her struggling force suddenly weakened a bit. Just as she was about to say something, the prisoner had already spoken up: "You can speak, it's because I hurt the spirits before, so you're here for revenge, but what about further back? Do you know why my brother hated the spirits? Because when we were very young, our father entertained some merchants, and as a result suffered an attack by the spirits. They said my father was a slaver."

  "You have a reason to kill me, and I have a reason to kill you, don't you? Hehe... butcher with blood-stained hands?" The prisoner paused for a moment: "Before you use the word 'butcher' to describe others, think about what your elves have done! You attack our cities everywhere, yes, you only kill rebels, but you burn down our houses and food, destroy our farmland. After you leave, there will be nothing left but ruins! How many people survived by eating grass roots, tree bark, or even human flesh?! My brother was defeated, and the population of each city is less than a third of what it used to be. Can you answer me? Who killed them?"

  "That's... war." Xanthe replied in a rough tone.

  "Yes, that's war, I just said it's a damned war." The prisoner smiled: "You hate me, you want to kill me, I can give you the opportunity, but don't put yourself on the side of justice, and even more so, don't act as if you're a judge. If your hands have been stained with the blood of other lives, then you no longer have the right to judge others."

  "I loathe darkness, but I loathe light even more, for light is often the desperate propaganda of those who claim to be just, yet cannot withstand scrutiny and shatter like bubbles at the slightest touch." The prisoner's eyes were filled with a mocking smile: "And I suggest you don't make things difficult for your friends. For these young people, friendship is the most precious thing! I too have been young, and I can understand them." He wasn't lying, Dragon Knight Gwavar was a man who walked on the edge of darkness and light, standing alone, Han Jin had saved him, but he didn't show any gratitude, not because he didn't value Han Jin, but also because of Lei Zhe's presence, he reluctantly spoke a few words, otherwise, he wouldn't have explained his so-called crimes, not even half a word! Moreover, the other party was just an insignificant spirit.

  Xian Ni Er only felt her whole body go soft, she had just been reckless in wanting to avenge the miserable deaths of those elves, indeed putting herself on the highest moral ground and hoping to get Han Jin's understanding. But that prisoner's tone was very ruthless, stripping away Xian Ni Er's halo of morality without hesitation, of course, he also stripped away his own, leaving Xian Ni Er feeling very bewildered. At least, before she could find a suitable reason for her people, she had already lost the courage to avenge them.

  "Lei Zhe, let's take a walk around, it's been a long time since I've had someone to talk to." The prisoner no longer looked at Xian Ni Er and turned to walk towards the back of the square.

  "Alright, sir." Lei Zhe glanced at Xian Ni'er and hastily followed beside the prisoner.
